So, I've been wanting to start a juice fast, and am planning on starting tomorrow.

First, would you recommend juice fasting for teens? If so, how long?
Second, would it be better to stick with one kind throughout the fast or mix it up?
Lastly, is there anything I should know before starting this? Any tips?

Thank you :)

Edit: Also, if you'd like to share, what's your favorite type of juice to make?

No I do not recommend teens fasting. I suggest you speak to your doctor before beginning a fast.

Even if only for a couple days?
I know it probably wouldn't be good for me to do anything long term at this age, so I was thinking more along the lines of 5-7 days.

Sorry... you aren't going to get any support from me personally since I don't agree with it. I strongly recommend you discuss it with your doctor and see how they feel.

Your body is still growing... you need more than a fast can give you, regardless of what type of fast you choose to do.

It's cool, I understand where you're coming from :)

I'll definitely bring it up with my mum and discuss it with my doctor as well before I decide to do anything.

Good to hear. Your health is number one... fasting is second.
